Issue

  • Create a parent site with two child sites (Child1, Child2).
  • Configure the parent site to share contents.
  • Add some web contents in the parent site.
  • Add an asset publisher in each child site.
  • Cannot find a way to display particular web contents from parent site.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3

Resolution

  • In parent site, add some tags, one for each child site (child01, child02).
  • For each web content in the parent site, assign the tag associated to the child site that the web content would be displayed in.
  • In each child site configure an asset publisher as follows:
    • Its scope is the parent site.
    • It filters by a specific tag: for example, child01 for site Child1 and so forth.
  • This way web contents added in parent site are displayed in the chosen child sites.

Additional Information

  • These resolution steps apply to assets other than web contents, such as documents, blogs, and so on.
  • Categories could be used instead of or in combination with tags to achieve the same result.
  • Documentation on configuring Asset Publishers.
